Multiple federal class action lawsuits have been filed against Wynn Resorts after a cyberattack attributed to the hacking group ShinyHunters allegedly compromised more than 800,000 personal records. The breach exposed sensitive employee and guest information, and plaintiffs claim Wynn failed to implement adequate encryption and cybersecurity safeguards.

What Happened?
In early 2026, Wynn Resorts disclosed that hackers had gained unauthorized access to its computer systems and extracted personal data belonging to employees and guests. The breach has been linked to ShinyHunters, a cybercriminal group responsible for dozens of high-profile data breaches across industries. Wynn acknowledged the incident and stated it engaged outside cybersecurity experts to investigate and contain the breach.
The first federal class action complaint, Reed v. Wynn Resorts, Limited, was filed on February 21, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. At least one additional related lawsuit has been filed in the same court, and more are expected as affected individuals learn about the breach.
What Data Was Exposed?
According to the filed complaints, the compromised records may include:
- Full names and dates of birth
- Social Security numbers
- Driver’s license and government ID numbers
- Financial account information
- Home addresses and contact details
- Employment records
What Are the Allegations?
Plaintiffs allege that Wynn Resorts failed to encrypt sensitive personal information at rest and in transit, did not maintain adequate intrusion detection systems, and provided unreasonably delayed and insufficient breach notifications to affected individuals. The lawsuits assert claims of negligence, breach of implied contract, and violations of state consumer protection and data breach notification statutes.
Who Is Affected?
The breach reportedly impacted approximately 800,000 individuals, including current and former employees at Wynn and Encore properties as well as guests who provided personal information during hotel stays, loyalty program enrollment, or employment applications.
